When Rachel first joined LBW for work experience while she was still at school, neither she nor we could have known where that first opportunity might lead....

18 years later, Rachel is a Supervisor at LBW, working across our Superannuation and Tax + Business Accounting teams. 🙌 And we’re incredibly proud of the career she’s built.

At LBW, our interns, graduates and young professionals aren’t simply here to gain a little experience. We see them as an important part of our team and genuinely want to help them discover what they’re capable of.

That means giving people opportunities to learn, supporting them through their studies, exposing them to different areas of the business and helping them build a career that’s right for them.

Rachel’s story is a wonderful example of where that first opportunity can lead.

Becoming a millionaire might sound like something reserved for lottery winners, CEOs or celebrities. But in reality, many Australians who reach a seven-figure net worth are everyday people who build their wealth through consistent habits, smart financial decisions and time.

It might not be as glamorous, but it's far more achievable than many people realise. At the heart of that journey is one of the most powerful concepts in wealth creation: compound interest.

Read our latest blog to learn how compound interest can help grow your wealth over time.

Today is Wear It Purple Day 💜

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and valued for who they are.

Wear It Purple Day is an opportunity to show support for LGBTQIA+ young people and help create communities where everyone feels they belong. At LBW, we believe that strong communities are built on inclusion, respect and supporting one another. Together, we can help create environments where young people feel seen, accepted and empowered to be themselves.

It feels a little early to be talking about Christmas… until you realise we’re already well into the second half of the year 😮

For many business owners, this is the point where things start to quietly speed up again. Planning events, thinking about staffing, managing budgets, and trying to balance a busy period with everything else already happening in the business.

A bit of early preparation can make a big difference. Forecasting demand, reviewing cash flow, locking in suppliers, and planning staffing levels ahead of time can help reduce last-minute pressure later on.

If you'd like to think through your end-of-year position, we're happy to have that conversation.

🌏 Celebrating the cultures that make up our LBW team 🍲🥟🍰

On Monday, we came together for our LBW Cultural Diversity Day, with team members bringing along dishes that represented their family, heritage or culture.

It was a lovely opportunity to share a meal, learn more about the traditions and stories of our team, and celebrate the different backgrounds that make LBW what it is.

A big thank you to everyone who brought something along and shared a little piece of their culture with us. 💙

Property has long been considered one of the foundations of building wealth in Australia. But with prices continuing to rise, more people are questioning whether it’s the right strategy for them 🏠📈

The good news is that property isn’t the only way to build long-term wealth. Depending on your goals, lifestyle and circumstances, investments, superannuation, career growth and additional income streams can all form part of a broader financial strategy 💰

If you’ve been thinking about where property fits within your financial picture, read our latest blog to explore five other ways to build wealth.

The Federal Government has proposed a three-year rollover relief period from 1 July 2027 to support eligible businesses and investors wishing to restructure out of a discretionary trust.

Under the proposed changes, eligible assets may be transferred into another structure, such as a company or fixed trust, without triggering certain immediate income tax consequences, including Capital Gains Tax. 💰📊

For some, this may create valuable planning opportunities. For others, a discretionary trust may remain the most appropriate structure. What matters is understanding how the proposed changes could affect your circumstances, assets and long-term goals.

The details are still being finalised, but we are happy to have high-level conversations now to help you understand how these changes might affect your structure.

If you currently operate through a discretionary trust or are considering your business or investment structure, speak with our team about what these proposed changes could mean for you. 💼

"I thought it would automatically go to my family." It's one of the most common things we hear when people review their super.

Many Australians don't realise that their super doesn't automatically form part of their estate. Depending on your circumstances, who receives your superannuation death benefit may be influenced by whether you have a valid death benefit nomination in place.

Life changes. Relationships change. Families grow. People separate. Children become financially independent.
That's why it's important to review your nomination from time to time to ensure it still reflects your wishes.

If you haven't looked at yours recently, now is a good time to have that conversation.
Enquire with our team, and we'll help you understand your options.
